Best ever.

There are legit not enough words in the english language to describe how fantastic working with Ash is. I'm so glad we found her to shoot our engagement and wedding before she becomes too famous 🤩 The photos from both events turned out better than our wildest dreams - seriously. People ask us if our engagement photos were from a magazine. Someone thought our wedding photos were from Vogue. She's THAT GOOD. And not only do we get to enjoy the beautiful pics she captured of our most precious moments - we also now get to call her our friend! She is the most fun, kindest, genuine and all-around badass woman to spend time with both personally and professionally. THANK YOU ASH!!! ❤🥰😍

The most amazing wedding photographer!

We cannot say enough kind words about Ash. She was the first vendor we booked for our wedding and knew we made the right decision within 5 minutes of meeting her for our engagement photos. She was flexible and so understanding when we had to postpone our wedding twice due to the pandemic. She is responsive, organized, thoughtful and truly goes above and beyond - not to mention her photos are INCREDIBLE. She went to our venue the day prior to scope out locations for our photos, which allowed us to join part of our cocktail hour because she was so efficient. She also plays music while taking photos, which makes it so much more fun and relaxed! Our wedding would not have been the same without her and we would highly recommend her.

Hiring Ash was the best decision. 1000% recommend!

I do not say this lightly, but having Ash as our wedding photographer was hands down the best decision during our planning process. A vendor that turned friend, then turned into to what felt like family. I initially had a hard time choosing a photographer. When I contacted Ash she was prompt in her response, and organized regarding our phone call. Once I talked to her I felt her energy and passion and knew she was the one we wanted to book. At the time we were living in NYC with plans to move back to CA. We were hoping to do engagement photos on the east coast to commemorate our time there. Without hesitation she was willing to come and now we have the most amazing photos in Central Park and Brooklyn. When the pandemic hit and we had to change our wedding plans to our backyard wedding in Monterey, I had to cancel nearly all of our San Diego vendors. The one that I truly couldn't go without was Ash. She was so understanding and flexible regarding change of plans. She drove up for our wedding 1.2.21. It was absolutely magical and dreamy and she captured our love so perfectly, so raw, and natural. Because our wedding was intimate with parents only, her personality blended in so well with our family that it wasn't just a photographer there but felt like having an old friend join us on our special day. It poured rain more than expected, but she was so calm and encouraging. I have friends and family nonstop compliment our photos. She truly has an incredible gift and eye for those special moments and everything in between. If you want a photographer that is professional, enthusiastic, and will hands down give you photos that you could of only dreamt of, than Ash is your gal. Do not hesitate to book her.

Ash is awesome!!

Hiring Ashley as our wedding photographers was one of the BEST decisions we made throughout our entire wedding planning process. Not only is Ashley incredibly good at what she does - our engagement photos and entire wedding gallery were stunning - she is also fun, kind and a blast to work with. My husband and I aren't models nor are we overly comfortable in front of a camera, especially for an entire day. Ashley made all the photographs feel organic, natural and "us." She captured our day so effortlessly while managing to get shots that truly blew our mind. When I initially was searching for a photographer, I found a lot of photos/editing to be either too edited, too moody, too cold, etc. Ashley's photography style and editing is PERFECT. Our photos are warm, authentic and artistic but also timeless and classic. Ashley is also incredibly responsive, professional and FUN. Our family and friends loved her and she managed to execute multiple giant group family shots in what seemed like record time. Ash's second shooter for our wedding day, Alex, was wonderful, too -- they make a great team! Because of Ashley, my husband and I have photos that perfectly capture our special day and will help us remember it forever. We can't thank her or recommend her enough!!!

Best photographer ever!

Choosing Ash as our photographer was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. My husband and I are both pretty uncomfortable in front of the camera, but Ashley made it super easy and fun from the start with our engagement shoot. She's the type of gal who you can feel totally comfortable with and the shots turn out INCREDIBLE. I can't recommend her enough!

So lucky to have found Ashley!

We absolutely adored having Ashley as our engagement and wedding photographer! She was so fun and bubbly, and just what we needed as more introverted non-models. She was easy to talk to, plan with, and worked with our requests throughout the whole process. She even drove up to the mountains to take engagement photos with our furbaby, and trekked over boulders with us to get the perfect shot. For our wedding, she managed all the different family photos we needed and captured the special details we wanted to remember (like DIY projects and family mementos). We didn't hire a videographer, but her photos capture every emotion of the day. Everyone at the wedding loved Ashley and is still singing her praises! She not only has a natural talent, but is constantly trying new things. We are so happy with all of the photos she's given us, and highly recommend her for anyone planning an event!

Incredible!

Ashley is AMAZING!! My husband and I can't say enough good things about her. From the first time we met her for our engagement photos, she helped us to feel comfortable and be ourselves. There is really something special about Ashley. We had known her for 5 minutes, but she immediately put us at ease and we felt like we'd known her for ages. We are so unbelievably happy with our photos. She captured every aspect of our day so well. She is so professional and did an amazing job of making not only us but our wedding party and family feel comfortable in front of a camera. She has an eye for detail and always made sure my dress was just right etc for our shots. We love Ashley and her work and would highly recommend her! Thank you Ashley!!

Best photographer!

There really aren't enough words to describe how amazing Ashley is...not only as a photographer but as a person. My now husband and I have gotten to know Ashley over the last year from first being referred to her by a friend, and then scheduling our first engagement shoot and booking her that very same week for our wedding. We loved her so much that we even booked a second engagement shoot for fun at a different location! Ashley is such a bright light in a room and truly loves what she does. She worked exceptionally well with our videographer and always made time for us if we wanted any additional shoots throughout our wedding night. She is extremely patient and knows all of the right angles! Do yourself a favor and book Ash for all of your photography needs, you will be thankful! I only wish we could have taken her with us on our honeymoon, we could have used her! ;) Thank you, Ashley! Carlos and I love you!

Love this girl!

You will love Ashley the moment you meet her! Her personality and laugh will have you relaxing in front of the camera in no time! She really knows how to ensure her couples are relaxed and enjoying the moment without being too intrusive. When she arrives she is polished and sharp looking. She is punctual and professional without being too stuffy. AND... you will feel like a movie star when you look at your wedding photos! This girl is super talented and I love working with her. I always recommend her to my couples!

Ashley is fantastic! I truly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer for their wedding or anything else.
She made my husband and I feel comfortable and have fun during our in-home engagement photos and on our big day!
We didn’t have a wedding planner or coordinator and Ashley was awesome in helping orchestrate family/group photos, seeing and recommending photo opportunities in the madness of the day, and noninvasively capturing every detail.
She really heard our preference for vibrant candid shots that depicted the fun party and really delivered.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

We worked with Ashley on a styled photo shoot and she was professional, organized, and so creative with her vision. She made sure we had all the shots we wanted and the turn around time to get the finished photos was so quick! I loved her calm and relaxed vibe and the results were breath taking! She captured the day perfectly!
